Computer chip

Hello

What do you guys think of performance chips? Do they work for the 2001 LS1 or can they cause harm?

Your input is appreciated, I see some on ebay as low as $30.

Thanks

You cant put a chip in a LS1. You can tune it and add mods but there is no such thing as a performance chip for them. If you saw them on ebay then its bogus.

As said above, C5 Vettes don't have chips, There are a number of programming tools to change your settings within the pcm.

Forget about a chip for the C5 - they won't do anything. Get a good tune and you'll come out much better.
